One week after three interceptions hurt them dearly in a loss to rival UL Monroe, three turnovers in the first half alone Saturday night - two lost fumbles and a late-half pick-six - came with a high price for the Ragin' Cajuns.

So too did the play of a defense that yielded 363 yards, including 248 in the opening half alone, and that mostly struggled after being handed a short field time and time again.
